OBSERVATIONS

When Destro's chant is played backwards, he states: "Anyone listening to this backwards for a secret occult message is a real dweeb!" [68 kb] (Matthew Pak's 3 3/4" G.I.Joe Collector Guide - Volume Two: The Television Episodes).

Roadblock's shirt changes colors (Matthew Pak's 3 3/4" G.I.Joe Collector Guide - Volume Two: The Television Episodes).
